Me and my wife ( both nhs ) slept apart,her in the conservatory and me upstairs since march 16th until around May 10th,7 weeks apart ,we chose to stop it after seeing how other people didnt give a shit about social distancing and everything else,the VE celebrations finally ended our seperation.
our son has had to attend school 2 to 3 days per week when we have both been in work,
iv had to use 4 to 5 days of my holidays when we have both been rostered in at the weekend and we couldn't even send him to school cos its obviously closed

Thank you for what you are doing,i am not surprised that you and all of your fellow carers are making sacrifices,it is really important i think to show people the stories,those who have come back and died because the caring profession is unique,putting your lives at risk to save everyone else is truly amazing,thank you

The World Health Organization's chief scientist said children didn't seem to be getting severely ill from Covid-19, but there was less data on how effectively they spread the virus to others

The very early data from countries which have reopened schools to a degree indicate that they haven't become infection hotspots. But it's early days and the data is currently too scant to give definitive reassurances that children don't pass on the infection

Is this taking into account the very scary but very real Kawasaki disease or toxic shock syndrome which seems to be becoming more and more prevalent in children who's immune systems have initially fought off Covid? Just wondering if they're not being labelled in getting ill from Covid when in actual fact they're getting ill from something related to it.

I've got a wee one at nursery (not been for 8 weeks) but I'd be reluctant to send him back until more information and more research is done on the Kawasaki disease symptoms as it's a horrifying prospect.

I notice Eton College will not re-open until September.
I suppose by then they’ll know if testing the safety of reopening schools has worked on the expendable proletariat and they can get our future leaders back in education.

Is anyone’s gut feeling now that we’ll all be back to normal pretty much by July/August ?

Strangely, I am beginning to feel a lot more positive. Not sure why. May be just wishful thinking on my part.

Listen to the Anorak...

Children do get ill.
But not many of them.
The deciding issue will be how many apparantly well children are asymptomatic and how much virus they shed while so being.
